#40.4 - THE NATIONAL -Ada
Uploaded by lablogotheque
So sometime recently, I dated this boy, a painter - an "artiste" shall we say? One night, we were hanging out on my couch, listening to music - I believe we were listening to Eels' Blinking Lights albumn - and at one point, I said, "oooh - listen to this song - this song changed my life." The artist turned to me and said, "really??? I can't imagine a song ever changing my life."
Needless to say, he and I weren't long for the road.
I've had a bunch of religious experiences with songs in the past year and a half. The video you see above is an example of a song which really moved me - the lyric, "Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall," is just so beautiful - poetic and pretty and filled with love and wonder. God, where on earth are these kinds of romantics? Aside from in "The National?" Anyway - enjoy.
